All benchmarks are flawed. Some benchmarks are useful.


Here's a third sentence fragment: These benchmarks are not.


Just want to nit: none of those are sentence fragments, they are complete thoughts with a subject and a predicate. Yours kinda comes close to being a fragment but it really just omits what "are not" (the predicate) is referring to, which is included in prior context.

For example, a fragment with a missing predicate.


It's nearly a haiku!


  All benchmarks are flawed.
  Not all benchmarks are useless.
  But these benchmarks are.
